Betty nodded.
“All right,” said Bob. “That settles it!”
Hodgson entered.

“What’s his name?” asked Bob.
“He didn’t tell me, sir.”
“Well, I’ll see him, anyway. Take him in the study.”
“All right, sir.”
Betty looked at Hodgson as the man spoke. She observed a strange expression on the old servant’s face.
